Very nice uphill landing! Good airspeed and timing, Where we fly in northern Sweden there are often not many acceptable outlanding fields, and hardly any level ones...
Nice, good field selection. I would personally keep airbrakes on, your touch down was at 100km/h which is well above stall speed, otherwise good outlanding:)
Thank you - I would have liked to do that too, but my concerns were a) that the field was sloping upwards in the first half, hence I would like to have excess speed for the pull up, not stalling it into the side of the field and b) the field sloped steeply downwards towards the lake at the end of the second half, hence I did not at all want to overshoot it and therefore forced it down before the top! :-)
Okay I'll be a dick, first he doesn't have 'airbrakes' they are spoilers (yea I know the great pilots all call them airbrakes and spoilers are old fashion technically correct glider term) 2nd, Wow, No Utility Lines? Thank God.

You could call them 'angle of attack generators' and be much more accurate. They SPOIL the LIFT. There really is no need to slow a glider down. You just need to Get Down.
Exciting! Well done indeed.
Nicely done!! Loved the effective, well-banked safe turns. Bravo!!

Sick dude...well done! ^^ I get sweaty hands just from watching! ;-)
Holy crap dude!! Almost Cased it! Lolol!
Rad video, nice save.

@@u2mister17 What on earth are you talking about airbrakes :D no one cares whether they are called spoilers or airbrakes
@@u2mister17 No they are completely two different things ………. s you are being a dick

Nice landing. And good speed for a uphill landing👍
Well done!
So utterly depressing when the air feels smooth like velvet! Good safe landing though!
Easy on the control inputs!
very nice!
Never lock the airbrakes in short final, the shock of unlocking them will always destabilise your approach
Was there a reasonable division of the landing somewhere? Position? Cross approach?
German? None of these terms is common in English aviator speak, AFAIK.
Great
Slick
Nice
